Description
The war in Europe is over. The war in Aldershot has just begun. Canadian soldiers anxiously waiting to be sent home riot in the garrison town of Aldershot, England to protest their idle confinement. On the next night, Lt. Col. Wellesley, the man in charge of arranging transport for the war-weary soldiers, is shot in the head. Is it coincidence, or some darker conspiracy?
